Notes de l'éditeur

  1. Looks like a wicked math problem, huh? In 2008 the Food Conservation and Energy Act mandated the name change from Food Stamps to SNAP. This name change focuses on nutrition and reduces stigma. Ohio has opted to call them Food Assistance benefits.Alphabet Soup - USDA, FNS, SNAP, FS, EBTExplain state-monitored, county-issued
  2. USDA FNS has an online application process for certification to accept EBT/SNAP as payment at your market. They offer a paper version, but the online version is much more efficient.
  3. EBT-Only POS Terminal: after receiving FNS certification, the market will receive a contract in the mail from our vendor, Xerox, regarding the receipt and use of an EBT-Only POS terminal. If you accept you would sign and return the agreement. Then you would receive and EBT-Only POS terminal after the processing of your agreement. The POS terminal will be accompanied by a detailed training video to explain how to set up and use the equipment.EBT-Only POS terminal Is free for any market that averages $100+ in FA redemptions per month. If the market doesn’t average $100/month, they may choose to pay a nominal fee or complete EBT transactions by voucher.In order to operate the equipment you must have access to a phone line and power outlet. If no access, market must determine if it will incur the cost to install the necessary access or have the POS located off-site.
  4. Manual Vouchers with POS Terminal : The market can choose to have a POS terminal offsite and use the manual voucher system to complete Food Assistance transactions.
  5. Manual Vouchers: The market is not required to have a POS terminal and can choose to use the manual voucher system to complete Food Assistance transactions. How it works: Complete the three-ply voucher onsite. Contact customer service to authorize the transaction and write the authorization number on the voucher; Write the date, manager sign, and customer signGive the customer their copy of the voucher; Keep one copy of the voucher; and Mail one copy of the voucher to Xerox within 4 calendar days of the transaction.
  6. Markets may elect to use a Third Party Provider (TPP) to accept EBT transactions along with other major credit cards. If a market decides to use a TPP POS terminal, after being approved by Food and Nutrition Services (FNS), they can disregard the contract agreement from the EBT vendor, Xerox, for the EBT-only Terminal. The market will have to research and contract with a TPP that accepts Ohio EBT. The TPP will provide their contract, product and equipment information.
  7. 1. A SNAP customer shops at a vendor’s stand and receives a receipt from the vendor for food items purchased, and then leaves the purchased items with the vendor.2. The SNAP customer goes to the central POS terminal without the purchased goods to swipe the EBT card for the amount on the vendor’s receipt and enters the PIN.3. Once approval is granted, the manager gives the customer another transaction receipt to confirm payment, which the customer brings back to the vendor to retrieve the purchased items.
